The first year of previews
(hurrah!), in the UK anyway, Marianne Mendt kicked things off for Austria,
wearing a fur coat and smoking a cigarette. PC hadn't got very far in
1971.
Another tiny auditorium, Dublin's
Gaiety Theatre staged the event (and to think that the 2001 contest was staged in a
soccer stadium), it was so petite that the hostess was deposited on the
balcony, and had a wonderful backdrop resembling three enormous condoms.
This was the first of three years
when each country sent two jurors to the host city to vote from
1-5 on each song, sadly removing the possibility of nul points
for anyone. The Luxemburg jurors
repeatedly awarded 1 point (the minimum possible) for song after song.
The fact that they BOTH did it makes you think doesn't it?
